under the eye is very faint ; the round drop-like whitish spots 

 of the notseum are not very large and distinctly flavescent, 

 especially the spots and bars of the tail ; the black guttural 

 shield does not extend over the throat. 



Two specimens. Pare (Masai), Sept. 3 : Dr. Fischer. Mas 

 jun. Long. tot. 75 mill. Iris dark red ; beak horn-colour. 



Very much like the bird from Barawa_, but on the pale 

 Rulphur-yellow of the abdomen we see short bar-like darker 

 marks formed by the apical margins of the feathers ; the 

 white spots and bars of the tail are distinctly yellowish ; the 

 sides of the head and throat shaded with reddish ; over the 

 eyes some reddish feathers like little flames ; the guttural 

 shield is indicated by an irregular black spot ; spots and 

 bars of the tail very regular and circumscribed. 



Three specimens. Adult male. Mrumi (Ugogo) : R. 

 Bo/im, Sept. 1. Long. tot. 19 mill., al. 80 mill., culm. 19 

 mill., caud. 80 mill. 



In this interesting specimen there are some more impor- 

 tant differences from the Barawa bird. The marginal spots 

 of the tail-feathers are small and of a dirty white with an 

 almost imperceptible yellowish shade ; the dark bars of the 

 underside of the tail are broader, less defined and shaded 

 into grey towards their upper margin ; abdomen of a dirty 

 yellowish white without any spots or bars ; the large black 

 guttural shield extends upwards to the chin ; the white spots 

 of the wing-coverts and scapulars are short, broad, and bar-like, 

 those of the interscapulium are smaller, more rounded and 

 drop-like. 



Perhaps this Ugogo bird ought to be separated as a con- 

 stant variety or race, 



Tr. boehmi is nearly allied to TV. arnaudi, but differs 

 from it : — 1, by the crown of the head being of a uniform 

 glossy black, whereas in Tr. ai'naudi its feathers are provided 

 with black tips, leaving only an irregular and more or less 

 invisible black spot in the middle of the crown ; 2, the black- 

 tipped feathers of the sides of the head are sulphur-yellow, 

 they being of a reddish orange in Tr. arnaudi; 3, by the 

 large and circumscribed guttural steel-black scutellum, of
